Like I said, the list goes on and on for the 90s. Lol, did you want me to list literally every awesome rap album of the 90s? There is a reason most rap heads consider it the golden age of hip hop. Yes, obviously there is good stuff from other decades. But hell, just all the Nas and Wu Tang stuff alone makes the 90s unbelievable. Then Jay-Z and Em's early stuff, plus Biggie, Tupac, Dre, Snoop, etc. The east coast AND west coast blew up in the 90s.
The only real great stuff from the 2000s is Eminem and Jay Z. When you look at the best rap albums of all-time, the majority of the ones are from the 90s. I don't even think it's close.
